The life story of this “Suriname” (Nacro-Saints) star is impressive and full of surprises.
Actor Jo Woo Jin, who was born in 1979 and majored in Theater at Seoul Institute of the Arts, drew a lot of attention for his catchy diction and attractive mid to low-pitched voice.
Originally named Jo Shin Jae, Jo Woo Jin changed his name in 2010 because he met a philosophy student by chance. After the name change, the actor made his first appearance in a commercial film, and 4 years later, he’s the featured cast member, leading to speculation that his change was for the better.
Despite the opposition of his family, Jo Woo Jin came to Seoul and made his debut in the play “Last Hug” (literal translation) in 1999 and for 16 years, never stopped pursuing his dream despite lacking popularity.
It was not until the actor showed off his strong presence in the 2015 movie “Inside Men”, that he finally became a mainstream name. According to staff members, Lee Byung Hun paid close attention to Jo Woo Jin during this appearance, and it was the same movie that birthed the actor’s most iconic buzzword.
Ever since, Jo Woo Jin has succeeded in making his presence known to the public, via various roles in hit dramas like “Goblin” and “Mr. Sunshine”. The actor has also shown a variety of acting colors on both the big and small screen.
In 2011, he finally stood out as a leading actor. He started his solo starring career with the movie ‘Restricted Calls’. It’s sad news for those who think Cho Woo-jin is still single because he looks so young and has no privacy exposure.
In 2018, after 11 years of dating, he became a sold-out man. At the time of marriage, they already had a two-year-old daughter, so they had already registered their marriage. Jo Woo-jin’s wife is a non-celebrity, and their love affair came to fruition through a wedding that had been postponed due to circumstances.
In an interview with a media outlet in 2016, he revealed his affection for his girlfriend, saying, “I want to protect my girlfriend. I will announce my marriage in the future.”
On the other hand, Cho Woo-jin drew attention by transforming himself into an intense figure in the Netflix series Suriname. He played Byun Gi-tae, a mysterious character whose identity can only be known until the end, and is known as a game changer that changes the flow of the play.
